Product information
Are you getting enough healthy fats?
Omega-3 fatty acids are considered to be particularly healthy fats. But in the modern diet we consume very little omega-3. This can become a problem: If the omega-6 fatty acids, the counterparts of omega-3, take over too much, there is more inflammation in the body and a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases.
The cerascreen® Omega 3 test is a home sampling and submission kit that allows you to analyse the composition of the fatty acids in your blood. A medical laboratory determines your omega-3 index and the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids.
Advantages
Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit inflammation in the body, omega-6 fatty acids promote it. Their interaction helps determine whether an inflammation-neutral state can develop in the body. A ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 of no more than 5:1 is recommended - but most people in Europe tend to have a ratio of 15:1, i.e. far too much omega 6.
A good ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 is said to have a positive effect on the blood vessels, the immune system and the distribution of nutrients in the body. So if you know the composition of your fatty acids and optimise them in a targeted way, you will promote your cardiovascular health and your defences.
